The end of paper hiring

You are not your resume. Neither are your candidates.

Q: How is Teracrowd different from other hiring tools?

Other AI hiring tools automate the resume. They screen resumes faster, but they still hire on paper. Teracrowd refuses the artifact entirely. A fifteen-minute voice conversation with Tera produces a portrait that companies can actually act on, with evidence per claim.

Q: Is candidate data private and secure?

Yes. The candidate owns their profile, which is shared with an employer only with the candidate's explicit, per-employer consent. Teracrowd does not store the raw audio of conversations, and data is processed and stored in the United States with encryption in transit and at rest.

Q: What happens after the hire? Does Teracrowd stop there?

No. The portrait carries into onboarding and into the first months on the team. Tera helps managers understand how the new hire actually works, where the friction is likely to be, and what to address in the first thirty days.

Q: What does the AI actually do during screening?

Tera has a fifteen-minute behavioral conversation with each candidate. Adaptive questions. Real moments, not hypotheticals. Every claim in the resulting portrait is backed by a verbatim quote from the conversation.

Q: What does the beta program actually involve?

Five spots remain. Beta companies get a hands-on onboarding with Valer and the founding team, monthly check-ins, and direct access to the product roadmap. In exchange we ask for a real hiring loop and honest feedback after each role.

The first AI that handles resume screening through real conversations so candidates are heard for who they truly are, and you spend your time with the people who matter most.

"Conversation is the most powerful technology ever created. It reveals genius, builds trust, aligns people, and turns possibility into reality."

Tera has one job: help you see the real person behind every resume, every interview, and every new hire, then turn that understanding into alignment, performance, and teams that win together.

Teracrowd

A resume tells you where someone has been. It doesn't tell you who they are.

Every hire brings a unique perspective, working style, and untapped potential. Teracrowd reveals what paper can't, helping you understand people from the first conversation through onboarding and beyond.

Why we exist

AI broke the resume. We built the replacement.

For more than eighty years, hiring has revolved around a single document.

Today, anyone can generate a polished resume in seconds. The result?

Companies are drowning in candidates who look identical on paper matching keywords to keywords while missing the human behind them.

Most hiring technology automates the resume. We believe the resume is no longer the signal.

The signal is the conversation.

The correlation between a resume and actual job performance.

WHAT WE'VE BUILT

Two Sides. One World-View.

Same belief. Two sides of the same shift. For companies rethinking hiring beyond traditional HR. For people who refuse to be reduced to a Resume.

This is where hiring becomes human again.

Designed for the individual. Guided by ethics.

Tera strengthens your judgment without replacing it, especially when it comes to individuals. You stay in control of the conversation, the context, and the final decision. Always.

Conversations are private

No one listens to your conversations. Not our team. Not other users. Not companies. Transcripts belong to the speaker.

You control your data

You decide what others can see about your insights, and conversations are shared only with the people you allow it, and only with the people you choose.

A long-term commitment

People should benefit from their own data. Tera will never make money from your data without your approval. And if your data ever creates value, you will share in that value.

Encrypted by default

Every conversation is encrypted by default with industry standards. Privacy is not an upgrade.

Local server location

Our servers are located as required by law in your continent. Your data stays where it belongs.

Trust is not a feature. It's the foundation.

Evidence, not opinion.

Real people. Real roles. Real signals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How is Teracrowd different from other hiring tools?

Other AI hiring tools automate résumé screening. They hire faster, but still hire on paper. Teracrowd eliminates the résumé entirely. A 15-minute conversation with Tera creates an evidence-backed profile companies can trust and act on.

Is candidate data private and secure?

Yes. Candidates own their conversations. Companies receive analysis and supporting evidence, not raw transcripts, unless the candidate explicitly grants access. All data is encrypted by default and stored on regional servers within the candidate's continent.

Do I need an HR team to use this?

No. Teracrowd is built for founders and CEOs hiring without a full HR stack. You define the role through a conversation with Tera, candidates have their own conversation, and you receive a ranked dashboard with evidence per candidate.

What happens after the hire? Does Teracrowd stop there?

No. The real portrait carries into onboarding and into the first months on the team. Tera helps managers understand how the new hire actually works, where the friction is likely to be, and what to address in the first thirty days.

What does the AI actually do during screening?

Tera conducts a 15-minute behavioral interview with each candidate, adapting its questions in real time. It focuses on real experiences, not hypothetical scenarios, and builds an evidence-backed candidate portrait where every insight is supported by direct quotes from the conversation.

What does the beta program actually involve?

Only five beta spots remain. Participating companies receive hands-on onboarding from our founders, monthly strategy sessions, and direct influence over the product roadmap. In return, we ask you to run at least one real hiring process through Teracrowd and share candid feedback along the way.
